"I'm standing up. I'm actually standing up..."
Lu Chen slowly stood up, his eyes slightly red.
As his attribute points increased, Lu Chen's physical fitness had now recovered to the level of a healthy man.
For more than ten years, he had been confined to bed, accompanied by illness day and night.
To be able to walk freely like a normal person, this thought was once an unattainable dream for him.
And at this moment, this dream finally became a reality!
"Ding, the Evolutionist you are following - Zhou Xiang, has been killed by a Bloodthirsty Sea Eel (Tier 1 Peak)."
Hearing heaven's oracle's notification, Lu Chen was stunned.
Zhou Xiang, didn't he have a D-grade alien ship?
Lu Chen clearly remembered that Zhou Xiang's ship gathered three Evolutionists with D-grade talents.
And Zhou Xiang himself had C-grade talent, making them the strongest group in the novice area.
Such a person died right after sailing out of the protective shield?
Just as Lu Chen was thinking,
heaven's oracle sent three more announcements of Evolutionist deaths, without exception, all were the work of Bloodthirsty Sea Eels.
"It seems their ship encountered a tough opponent and was directly wiped out."
A thought flashed through Lu Chen's mind.
"Zhou Xiang is dead, his alien ship is ownerless. Tuan Zi can absorb human talent, I wonder if it can absorb a ship's?"
Thinking of this, Lu Chen's heart couldn't help but burn with excitement.
"No, I have to go and see."
Lu Chen immediately rowed the oars and paddled towards the direction Zhou Xiang and the others had left.
Although it was definitely dangerous there, the preciousness of the alien ship made Lu Chen unwilling to miss this opportunity.
What's more, there were four corpses with D-grade or higher talents there!
If he could absorb all of these, he would make a huge profit!
Soon, Lu Chen saw the half-broken wooden boat floating on the sea and the mutilated bodies of Zhou Xiang and the other three.
He didn't know if Humans were not tasty or something, but the marine creatures here didn't eat Humans directly after killing them. They seemed to enjoy the process of killing more.
"It seems Zhou Xiang and the others were originally hiding on the ship, but the wooden boat couldn't withstand the fierce attack of the Bloodthirsty Sea Eel and fell apart. The four fell into the water and were then wiped out by the Bloodthirsty Sea Eel."
Lu Chen's gaze swept around sharply, quickly reconstructing the entire sequence of events.
"Where is that sea eel?"
Lu Chen didn't rush over to absorb the corpses impulsively. The Bloodthirsty Sea Eel was very likely still there.
Visual Enhancement!
Olfactory Enhancement!
After activating his talents, Lu Chen's vision and sense of smell immediately increased tenfold.
He keenly captured a large black shadow slowly swimming beneath the broken wooden boat,
accompanied by a faint bloody smell that was hard to detect.
It was that Bloodthirsty Sea Eel, it really hadn't left!
If he wanted to absorb the talent, he had to get rid of this thing first.
Lu Chen looked down at the Tuan Zi who was tightly hugging his leg and whispered to himself:
"With you here, if my only goal is to live, I'm afraid no one can take my life."
However, since heaven's oracle has given me a chance to start over,"
"I will stand on the peak of this world and experience the myriad wonders of this world!"
The Bloodthirsty Sea Eel must be dealt with!
Having made up his mind, Lu Chen handed the reinforced steel spear he picked up from Zhao Lei to Tuan Zi.
"Tuan Zi, help me temper this thing. We're going to work later."
"Guji~"
Tuan Zi responded, its tentacles swaying.
A moment later, a reinforced steel spear shimmering with a chilling cold light was born.
Lu Chen took the spear and tested it.
He found that after Tuan Zi's enhancement, the toughness and sharpness of the spear had increased several times over.
"Tuan Zi, when we fight later, find a safe place to hide."
"Guji Guji~"
Tuan Zi shook its head, spread its eight small tentacles, and put on a fierce look, indicating that it could also help.
"Haha, you're still small. You can help me when you grow up. Be good now, otherwise, I'll have to be distracted taking care of you."
Lu Chen said with a smile, rubbing Tuan Zi's small head, and gently persuaded it.
"Guji~~"
Tuan Zi's tentacles drooped weakly, and it climbed onto the bow with a dejected look.
Although it was still a juvenile, its intelligence was extremely high.
It understood that even if it couldn't help its Master, it at least couldn't cause trouble.
"Okay, big long worm, I'm coming to meet you!"
A sharp cold glint flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, and then the small boat slowly paddled forward.
As the wooden boat slowly approached, it quickly attracted the attention of the Bloodthirsty Sea Eel that was swimming in the sea.
The sea eel was as agile as a dragon, its body twisted suddenly, and it pounced towards Lu Chen's small boat with astonishing speed.
Lu Chen barely had time to react before the small boat suffered a violent impact and trembled violently.
"Ding, the reinforced novice wooden boat has been attacked by a Bloodthirsty Sea Eel, Durability -15."
The Bloodthirsty Sea Eel showed astonishing flexibility, retreating after one strike and instantly diving into the deep sea, leaving Lu Chen no chance to counterattack.
"Just one collision lost 15 durability, and it's so cunning and flexible. I finally understand why Zhou Xiang and the others met with disaster."
A look of solemnity flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.
Zhou Xiang and the others probably didn't even touch the Bloodthirsty Sea Eel before their ship was sunk by its cunning attack method.
The four who were not good swimmers fell into the water and could only be hunted down one by one by the Bloodthirsty Sea Eel.
Just now, the Bloodthirsty Sea Eel obviously wanted to use the same trick, using collision to destroy this small wooden boat again.
However, this reinforced wooden boat was much sturdier than it imagined.
The collision just now made it dizzy.
If it continued to collide, the ship wouldn't sink, but it would hit itself to death first.
So, the Bloodthirsty Sea Eel changed its strategy and began to circle around the small boat, looking for the best time to attack.
"Hehe, it seems this guy can't crash the reinforced ship. That's good!"
A cold smile appeared on Lu Chen's lips.
He maintained his Visual Enhancement state, his eyes like an eagle's, tightly locking onto the Bloodthirsty Sea Eel swimming rapidly in the water.
Suddenly, a fierce disturbance broke the calmness of the water's surface.
The Bloodthirsty Sea Eel's body suddenly tensed, like an arrow from a bowstring, and it shot out of the water, directly pouncing towards Lu Chen.
"I've been waiting for you!"
A sharp light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, and he instantly activated his Speed Enhancement talent.
He moved his body lightly to the right, narrowly avoiding the Bloodthirsty Sea Eel's huge mouth full of sharp fangs by a hair's breadth.
"Beast! Do you know why Humans are strong? It's because of intelligence!"
As Lu Chen sneered,
the Bloodthirsty Sea Eel was shocked to find that behind Lu Chen, a reinforced steel spear with a chilling cold light had already been inserted,
like the Grim Reaper's scythe, quietly waiting for it to actively crash into it!
"Poof!"
Accompanied by a muffled sound,
the reinforced steel spear instantly stabbed fiercely into the Bloodthirsty Sea Eel's huge mouth.
The sea eel's body, over two meters long, violently writhed and twisted on the small boat, as if making its final struggle.
